Program Description

Specify the variable value limitation for the horizontal bar chart. WHERE= limits the chart to only the 2005 sales totals.

proc chart data=piesales(where=(year=2005));

Create a side-by-side horizontal bar chart. The HBAR statement produces a side-by-side horizontal bar chart to compare sales across values of Flavor, specified by GROUP=. Each Flavor group contains a bar for each Bakery value.

   hbar bakery / group=flavor

Specify the bar length variable. SUMVAR= specifies Pies_Sold as the variable whose values are represented by the lengths of the bars.

   sumvar=pies_sold;

Specify the title.

   title '2005 Pie Sales for Each Bakery According to Flavor';
